I fly into and out of Ohare and Midway regularly.

I travel with my carry pistol with the intent of rearming myself in the airport bathroom or parking lot ( depending on local law ) when I reach either Texas or a state that has reciprocity.

You can travel into Chicago and transit to your destination legally as long as you follow the local laws. For me this means pistol with a lock on it as well as the case and the ammunition in another bag.

There are a few towns in IL which ban all handguns so you do not want to stay there. I dont stay in these towns. I leave my pistol in my hotel room locked in my luggage or in my car trunk locked away.

Coming back through either Airport, its the same procedure as at any airport. I've never had any issues in IL.

I have never travelled to NYC and likely would leave my pistol in my car in TX if I knew I would be staying in NYC.
